Things are starting to take shape under the hood of the 69 912 POLO car.
There is a 200F degree BAT thermostat in the middle of the crossover oil lines. The SC thermostat at the passenger rear wheel well opens at 180 degrees. The oil will go forward from there then through the front passenger cooler. The BAT thermostat will send the oil back to the rear tell the oil temp gets to 200 degrees. At that point the BAT thermostat will open and route the oil to the drivers side cooler. If this works as well as I hope, I’ll do the same to my car. My car the oil sits at 180 to 190 degrees on a hot day which is fine. 200 to 215 would be better. But on a cool or cold day it sits at maybe 140 to 160. Too cool. At those temps the heater struggles to warm the inside of the car, and the water vapors in the oil can't boil out even with lower boiling points at higher elevations here in Colorado.
As the hood is of super light weight aluminum, (thinner than 16 gauge) it needs more support when lifted to fuel up. So we supper sized a 914 race car hood support. The support snaps in at the back end of the hood when the hood is down. It snaps in on the backside of the strut bar when the hood is up. The support piece is connected to the middle of the hood front to back to not over stress the hood when it’s opened.
This has been a fun project.

I made a new set of oil coolers.The first set would probably be ideal for a big 6. They kept my oil temp too low. Never over 180 degrees even when driving through the Las Vegas area at 115 degrees. These should work better with the 4 cylinder POLO engine.

I bought an early 911 air filter. I will make a mold of the top with clay. Then fill it with chopped fiberglass and resin unless someone has a better material fill. It needs to be hard enough for my metal guy to pound out the top in aluminum. The lower part will need to be somewhat custom. I'll figure that out as we go. The top will need to be about an inch and a half lower, as the fan is about 6 inches further back in the engine compartment.

A better picture of where the engine sits in the engine compartment.
